The Road to Hampden...Hibernian

Hibernian will be hoping history can repeat itself when they meet Championship rivals Falkirk in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-finals this Saturday.

The two teams played out a seven goal thriller in their last semi-final meeting back in 2013, with Hibs coming from 3-0 down to win 4-3 after extra-time.

Manager Alan Stubbs will be hoping for an easier route this time around with the prospect of reaching a third Scottish Cup final in four years. The Bairns won’t be short on confidence either having beaten their opponents twice already this season in the league.

Hibernian have beaten Alloa, Arbroath and Berwick Rangers on their route to Hampden and scored nine goals - all from different players. Can they keep the run going against Falkirk on Saturday?

ONE TO WATCHFarid El Alagui
The French-Moroccan forward will be familiar to both sets of fans when Hibs and Falkirk clash on Saturday. El Alagui spent the 2011-12 season at Falkirk where he scored 18 goals in 33 games before moving to Brentford. An early season injury against Alloa has restricted El Alagui’s appearances in a Hibernian top but he did score the second goal in Sunday’s derby 2-0 win over Hearts. Could provide a real threat to his old side if he features at Hampden Park.
